Amish White Bread

Ingredients:
2 cups of warm water (110 degree)
2/3 cup of white sugar
1.5 TBSP active dry yeast
1.5 tsp salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
6 cups of bread flour

Directions:

1. In a large bowl dissolve the sugar in the warm water and then stir in yeast.  Allow to proof until yeast resembles a creamy foam.
2. Mix salt and oil into the yeast mixture.  Mix in the flour one cup at a time.  Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface or in mixing bowl until smooth.
3. Place into a well oiled bowl and then place dough into it.  ****I place the metal mixing bowl into the crockpot and place the cover on the crockpot to allow to rise****  Allow to rise until the dough is doubled in bulk about 1 hour.
4. Punch dough down, knead for 5 minutes.  
5. Divide in half 
6. Shape into loaves and place into 2 well oiled 9x5 loaf pans.
7. Allow to rise for 30 mins or until dough has risen 1 inch above the pan (***I use the crockpot for this***)
8. Preheat oven at 350 degrees
9. Bake loaves at 350 degrees for 30 mins
